that he'd better learn how to take apart a car engine and put it together and also how to build a house from the foundation up: that would guarantee he'd always be able to put food on the table.
Ford volunteered for the Marines in WWII.
"Blackboard Jungle" and "Experiment in Terror," I think, are his best films.
No actor portrayed an even-tempered, fair, but tough guy better than he.
Of Welsh/Canadian descent, Ford hailed from one of Canada's prominent families.

I agree with your choices. I also thought he was effective as Clark Kent's adoptive father in "Superman".
